...ig companies and I can say Synopsys has been supporting it's employees the best. Everywhere I see lots of lay offs, offer revokes and salary deduction but Synopsys has done nothing like this. Infact they have provided timely promotion to their employees too. Their teams have facilitated smooth wfh. None of the campus offers have been revoked or postponed which is almost happening everywhere and I come from Tier -1 college. Synopsys has great work life balance. They have excellent culture and policies to facilitate employees.

...side the niche EDA industry. Exceptional work is mostly rewarded with peanuts. Low compensation, poor appraisal. Compensation/growth talks/plans are completely avoided or at best rushed without any clarity. Managers/HR deploy crucial conversations skills and hypnotize you in a story. Poor benefits and perquisites. They boast of lot of things, but all are hollow inside.
